As usual scandal seiyuu Aya Hirano is causing waves – though this time for her latest single’s massive departure in musical style from her earlier works, after the “Mirai Voyager” track from her new “Toxxxic” album was made public online.

Opinions are divided as to whether she is merely imitating a Vocaloid or actually made use of one:

The musical departure coupled with her “unrecognisable” new look seem to confirm her intention of reinventing herself, much to the chagrin of what is left of her original fanbase.

I thought it was exaggeration… but this seriously sounds like a Vocaloid. MORE so than some of the best-made Vocaloid songs; it’s ironic because the creators for those put in massive hours to get it sounding realistic and not synth.

As for her appearance, I could generally care less now. She’s changed so many times I don’t even know what she looks like any more.

Still think she is one of the most talented seiyuus out there, she can make any kind of voice when she wants.

I understand she wanted to leave the anime industry, since she was obligued to constantly do the same shitty voice.

Her personal life is not that messy compared to any western artist. But she lives on JAPAAAAAN!

I respect her talent and her decissions regarding her career but I still must admit she was and continues being fucking ugly. She indeed looks hot on that picture, as hot as the girls that appear in the covers of cosplay jap av…but when you see the actual video…THE HORROR

This isn’t a mere filter, it’s pretty heavily modified and at some point the VFX saturation crosses a line where the singing is more cyber than bio. When the editor has put more work into the singing than the original vocalist, who’s really responsible for the singing you hear?

I think she looks hot! As long as she keeps that forehead out of sight, doesn’t get too close to the camera showing off her google eyes, eat her own pussy for the world to see, “join” the band ’till they beg for mercy……

OK she’s insane but you gotta love her. I do, she can “join” me anytime.

What? I was reading Japanese blogs before I even got to know of Sankaku, and I have to conclude at least 90% of those blogs hate the ‘dekobitch’. Most of what’s on Sankaku are just translated reposts of the same content on those blogs.

Call it negative-campaign or whatever, but the fact remains that she screwed herself up.

WTF are you going on about, you deluded tit!? The problem is sites like Sankaku; regular visitors to websites that encourage fapping over cartoons are encouraged to call a voice actress insane for living a real life. It’d be funny if it weren’t such a cringe-worthy truth.

See what I did there? I forced most of the comments to be positive by using ol’ reverse psychology. I’ve never seen an Aya post with so much Aya praise. Haha. I give you permission to hate her again guys its okay.

I value Aya by her voice as I did on all other anime seiyuu, and Aya is excellent in that aspect. I am not bother by who she is sleeping with or the fact she having an orgy with her band. Anime voicing need only her voice, her voice that living up the character Suzumiya Haruhi and Konata Izumi. Her personal life, who is she sleeping with, I don’t give a damn about that.
